Foot Fall

Description:

A cool world, Footfall has abrupt seasons that initially caught the first settlers off guard. Snowstorms of biblical proportions would drop 60-70 centimeters of snow in mere days. The weather reminded these Mongolian descendants of their parents' home in northern Asia on Terra.

Both of Footfall's two large continents are covered by mountains that leave little in arable landmass for farming, though what land is there is highly fertile and produces more than enough to support the current population. What the planet does have an abundance of is precious metals and iron ore. The northern continent, Ulaanbaatar, is the smaller of the two landmasses, and is the more mountainous. Ulaanbaatar produces the bulk of the iron ore, while Hohhot, the southern continent, has large veins of precious metals. The capital city, Ganz, is the manufacturing center of the planet and is located in the Fen Fang Fu delta region on the northern coast of Hohhot.

Footfall had been spared the ravages of war until the Fourth Succession War, when two elite Davion RCTs landed on the planet and massacred the local planetary militia. The Confederation regained Footfall during the offensive of 3057.
